I'm gonna be honest, the most fun I've ever had with the wrapped things was the year I had the composer for the music on Bluey thank me for my support in a video and being told that one of my top genres was "Australian Bogan".

I think what’s creating the impression of decline isn’t actually that there’s less great art being made. It’s that it’s so fragmented across so many different platforms and cultural niches that there’s less rarely The Big Thing Everyone Is Watching, excepting like Marvel & Star Wars movies.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Nothing will make me a bigger fan of your work as a pundit if you got the stones to be like "oh shit I was way off on this take" instead of a twenty page screed about how you still were right if you just look at it this way. I think most people like that kind of stuff too!

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma... this is the best description of my concerns, musings, and fears as an ex-academic now SWE who enjoys mentoring. It's deeply important to do the "grunt work" to gain experience and insight. I hope we find how to strike balance here, both for myself and to teach others

Dipped back into using sill.social and it's sorta sad/disappointing how often the top shared articles in my network are things people are sharing because the take by the article is bad. Feels like the bluesky ethos of not giving trolls oxygen is getting lost.
